$12 gets you a flight of the following beers:

Pink Drank – a sour blonde ale aged “hella days” in oak barrels at our brewery in Concord. We used Brettanomyces Lambicus for the primary ferment with Lactobacillus, and finished it with Cascadian raspberries.a sour blond fermented and aged in oak w/raspberries. (13 months in oak)

Agent Ned – a 16 month old Flanders red. This Flanders Red was fermented in a Climbing Monkey Wines barrel, using the lees that were left after bottling. We are really happy with the dry-red wine finish. When fermentation was complete we dosed the barrel with our blend of wild yeast and bacteria that we created in the Grand Cru.

A.I. Evolution, Generation 6 – 100% clean barrel ferment, where we continually brew a new complementary beer which is blended into the previous batch.

Rye’d Piper – a hoppy red is rich and flavorful beer with a touch of rye malt that compliments the roasty/chocolate flavors. 5.8%

Bottles of Pink Drank, Rye’d Piper, and Golden State of Mind will be available for to go purchases.
